Christ's Last Discourse with the Jews

This section records Jesus' final public message to the Jewish people. It is a summary and farewell, delivered with seriousness and passion. Jesus wanted everyone to listen, understand, and choose wisely. He reminded people of the importance of believing in him, the blessings for believers, and the dangers of unbelief. This was his last public teaching before turning to private instruction with his disciples.

v. 44–45: Jesus cried out loudly to make sure everyone heard him. He said, "Whoever believes in me does not believe only in me, but in the one who sent me. Whoever sees me sees the one who sent me." (John 12:44-45 ^a). If you believe in Jesus, you are also believing in God the Father. Jesus is not just a man; he is the Son of God, equal with the Father. Faith in Jesus brings us close to God. By knowing Jesus, we come to know God, because God shows himself to us through Jesus (2 Corinthians 4:6; Hebrews 1:3 ^b).
